The elliptic sieve and Brauer groups
Abstract A theorem of Serre states that almost all plane conics over Q${{\mathbb {Q}}}$ have no rational point. We prove an analogue of this for families of conics parametrised by elliptic curves using elliptic divisibility sequences and a version of the Selberg sieve for elliptic curves.

On the Brauer group of a generic Godeaux surface
Abstract Let X$X$ be a Godeaux surface and qX:Y→X$q_{X}\colon Y\rightarrow X$ be its universal cover. We show that the pullback map qX∗:Br(X)→Br(Y)$q_{X}^{*}\colon \operatorname{Br}(X)\rightarrow \operatorname{Br}(Y)$ is injective if ρ(Y)=9$\rho (Y)=9$. Our arguments rely on a degeneration technique that also applies to other examples.

Some torsion classes in the Chow ring and cohomology of BPGLn
Abstract In the integral cohomology ring of the classifying space of the projective linear group PGLn (over C), we find a collection of p‐torsion classes yp,k of degree 2(pk+1+1) for any odd prime divisor p of n, and k⩾0. If, in addition, p2∤n, there are p‐torsion classes ρp,k of degree pk+1+1 in the Chow ring of the classifying stack of PGLn, such ...

More on the Schur group of a commutative ring
The Schur group of a commutative ring, R, with identity consists of all classes in the Brauer group of R which contain a homomorphic image of a group ring RG for some finite group G. It is the purpose of this article to continue an investigation of this group which was introduced in earlier work as a natural generalization of the Schur group of a field.

Witt groups of hermitian forms over a Brauer–Severi variety [PDF]
Let \(k\) be a field with \(\text{char}\,k \neq 2\), let \(X\) be a scheme such that \(2 \in H^0(X, {\mathcal O}_X^*)\), and let \({\mathcal A}\) be an algebra over the scheme \(X\) with a \({\mathcal O}_X\)-linear involution \(\sigma\) (here an \({\mathcal O}_X\)-algebra is always assumed to be an associative \({\mathcal O}_X\)-algebra that is unital ...

Galois invariants of finite abelian descent and Brauer sets
Abstract For a variety over a global field, one can consider subsets of the set of adelic points of the variety cut out by finite abelian descent or Brauer–Manin obstructions. Given a Galois extension of the ground field, one can consider similar sets over the extension and take Galois invariants.

Arithmetics of homogeneous spaces over p$p$‐adic function fields
Abstract Let K$K$ be the function field of a smooth projective geometrically integral curve over a finite extension of Qp$\mathbb {Q}_p$. Following the works of Harari, Scheiderer, Szamuely, Izquierdo, and Tian, we study the local–global and weak approximation problems for homogeneous spaces of SLn,K$\textrm {SL}_{n,K}$ with geometric stabilizers ...

Constructions of Brauer-Severi Varieties and Norm Hypersurfaces
Let k be any field, A a central simple k-algebra of degree m (i.e., dimk A = m2). Several methods of constructing the generic splitting fields for A are proposed and Saltman proves that these methods result in almost the same generic splitting field [8, Theorems 4.2 and 4.4].
